I really do hate this about myself, but I don’t see myself changing this anytime soon.
Right now I should be working on teaching stuff. I told myself I would start on that stuff at 1:00, but now it’s 1:20 and I have changed my start time to 2:00. This is just a current example; I do this ■■■■ all the time, even at the gas station.
Is this a problem for a lot of you?
I can’t do anything other than eating, sleeping and playing video games occasionally. I try to play video games more than twice a week but I am too lazy. My written diagnosis is SZ with negative symptoms, avolition and apathy.
I get periods of laziness sometimes but it’s not my baseline. I’m the opposite that if something needs to get done it needs to be done right away and I don’t rest until it’s done. And if I can’t do it just then it will nag me. I get this from my grandparents.
I get lazy on showering sometimes but that’s about it and if I’m in a deep depression then I don’t care about anything anyways.
I find procrastination is easier for me to avoid if I make something a routine.
If I now I usually do it at 5, then I will do it at 5.
Like showering. I shower monday, wednesday and friday at 9.10 AM.
And because I know it’s something I have to do, and that I have to do it at that time, it gets done.
Try to make a schedule using a planner.
For me, it helps to have someone else hold me accountable. I will procrastinate for weeks on doing my laundry. But if I tell someone I am going to do my laundry, suddenly it gets done because I want to keep my word.
I procrastinate a lot, when I was at university I would leave write 4,000 word essay a night before
I actually got started about an hour ago, prior to 2 (it is now 2:36 pm).
I just completed the PowerPoint for today’s lecture material, so I am taking a little break before I go back and proofread it.
Next I need to work on lab stuff.
Well, I just finished all of the teaching stuff that absolutely had to get done today. There are other things I need to do sooner or later; maybe I’ll start on those tonight, or perhaps tomorrow.
I’m just biding my time until my treatment heals my negatives. Lot of just sleeping and waiting.
Then I’ll take baby steps and piece some kind of life together.
I hate myself so much for not ever getting anything done. I feel like a total waste.
I write my best papers an hour before they’re due.
